Default Winter tires + Wheels (Need suggestions)

Hello all! This is my first post, and I'm glad to be here.

I need some advice for winter tires and wheels. I have the 2014 IS 350 RWD. I don't intend to go el cheapo on the tires themselves, but the wheels is where I want to skimp.. The wheels are gonna go on the car for only a couple months, and I don't really even want to be outside when it's cold, let alone the appearance of my car .

Any suggestions would help me out. Thanks in advance.


PS: Forgot to mention that it's the F sport model..

Some other threads about this:

More if you use the search function.

Basically, just get a set of cheap17" rims.
Maybe a used set from ebay? Or some cheap rota wheels. Tyre size should be 225\45-17.

Important thing is if you have tpms or not. Those sensors are not cheap.

If you want to go even cheaper, 16" might fit if you do not have the 350. Then it is 205\55-16 that will be the cheapest.
If you don't care about the warning light, you can also go without the tpms sensors.
(tpms= tyre pressure monitoring system)
